About OWCP's Active Cannabinoid-based topical cream for skin conditions starting with Psoriasis:
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin, and can be associated with other serious health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and depression. Skin cells in patients with psoriasis grow at an abnormally fast rate, causing a buildup of lesions that tend to burn and itch.
While the real cause of psoriasis is not known, genetics are believed to play a major role in its development. According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, psoriasis affects 7.5 million people in the United States. According to Global Data and the World Health Organization, the reported prevalence of psoriasis in countries ranges between 0.09% and 11.4%, making psoriasis a serious global problem with at least 100 million individuals affected worldwide. The global market of psoriasis treatments expected to increase from a value of $6.6 billion in 2014 to more than $13.3 billion by 2024.
OWCP developed its proprietary active cannabinoid-based topical cream for psoriasis management, with the objective of reducing the skin dryness of patients suffering from the disease. Results of OWC's pre-clinical efficacy studies indicated that the Company's topical cream treats the main symptoms of psoriasis by primarily reducing keratinocytes (epidermis cell) proliferation and reducing inflammation markers related to psoriasis. OWC previously reported trial results that concluded that after the application of its active cannabinoid-based topical cream, that there was up to a 70% improvement in a variety of inflammation markers directly associated with psoriasis.
